Military Virtue gave them a common death
History a common fame
Posterity a common monument.

This monument in Memory of the Illustrious Men
Wolfe and Montcalm
was laid by George, Earl of Dalhousie
Governor in Chief over all the British Provinces
in North America
A work neglected for many years
(What is there more worthy of a gallant General?)
He promoted by his influence, encouraged by his example,
and favoured by his munificence
the 15th, Novembre 1827
George 4th reigning King of Great Britain

Mortem Virtus Communem
Famam Historia
Monumentum Posteritas Dedit
